That would be worse than the R-77, with 0 benefits.
Non E R-27R is somewhere between R-24R and R-23R, being worse than R-24R. That’s how bad it’s range is.
It can, but need right software to recognize type of missile on the pylon and make WCS do it work.
You mount 27EA on Su-27SM, it sends signal “I am R-27EA”.
Avionics: “WTF is R-27EA?”

Considering Russia has integrated old soviet fab-3000s after adding TV seekers to old dumb fab-3000 and ingerating to Su-34s, doing this would probably be very easy compared to that

Those bomb is integrated on serial Su-32. But R-27EA was not adopted by air force so only experimental MiG-29s avionics will recognize it and launch because it was used to test it and launched it.
What I’m saying is, if army said we need this, they could probably integrate it in a very short time. But army never said “do this.”
İt’s not a completely new missile that requires new pylons etc. İt’s just computer stuff probably.
Just as how the stone age radar and computer system on su-27 was modified to use r-77
Well, add 1 more type of ammunition to digital (!) system (which way more flexible to additions, than old ones) ain’t must be very complicate.
And even if it impossible (or just some lazy arse want bribe/dont want work) - it still can be redneck-engineered (заколхожено), so plane see EA, as ER, launch it as ER, but when guide it by TWS - missle will be guided, because it can.

Game has limitations of avionics. Like F-16s hardpoints strong enough to take second AIM-7 on the wing, but those loadout wasn’t adopted.
You put it on the same pylon as R-27ER, what do you mean? I didn’t say put it on R-73 pylon
How plane will know that it must guide ER which it see in your scenario, not by SARH illumination, but with TWS datalink?
Or you want “игровая условность”?
Turtle tank
And? You put it on R-27 pylon, WCS still don’t know how to handle that missile

Do you understand what I’m saying?
Su-27 doesn’t understand R-77, so they modified it and it became su-27sm and understands r-77. İt’s as simple as that. Some computer changes, su-27sm already has the necessary infrastructure for fox-3

But those modification was performed IRL so Su-27SM with R-77 in the game, modifications to carry R-27EA never was made IRL.

Ok then, let’s enjoy getting killed by aim-120 when using su-27 with the worst fox-3 r-77, because the only other solution is either fixing the drag of r-77 at supersonic speed or adding r-77-1.
I have already stopped playing su-27sm and almost got free ace on my f-15C
Add experimental Mig-29 with new radar and R-27EA + R-77 loadout because those plane existed IRL
Still bad, because of flight model. Can’t notch or if you notch you lose all speed in 2 turns
That would require the fixing of flight model of Russian aircraft

Btw, lads on reddit, says, that 27ET, can be guided by radar to predicted point, where missle can lock the target.
Silent kills, eh?
Just 1 ping of radar, and ET will move for rendezvous.
Its like ARH “pitbull”, just dont need to track, while missle get close to IR seeker lock range.
That sounds like cancer lol
IIRC R-37 is the most noticeable with a similar features.
The pilot can set a designated cordination for the missile, launch it, the missile will aproach the destination by it own navigation system then turn on the Radar to search for the enemy.

Well… no?
U can’t guide a missle, from the moment, it get of the rail.
U just said to it “fly here (predicted by radar rendezvous point), find something hot, and kill it”.
So any manouver, and missle just can’t find anyone in the “pitbull” phase.
Unless, someone will fly near that point, and missle will “find” them, if they will be in tracking angle.
So no - it ain’t cancer.
Yep, it will be absolutely stealth weapon, but very unreliable.
